    Britain grapples with surge in Knife attacks

    Just found this article on Yahoo. Strange, but the article totally fails to make any kind of statement about how tough the gun laws are in Britain. Just how 'fashionable' carrying a knife is. Sigh. greg

    Pump action .223?

    I was flipping through the Big 5 catalog this weekend, and they had a sale announcement for a Romanian PAR-3...looked kind of like an AK/SKS, but it had a 10-round magazine, and was pump action. I've never seen anything like it, and did a quick search on here but couldn't find anything. I...

    More new calibers?!!??!?! 300 and 338 RCM

    While cruising around Hornady's website, trying to figure out why someone would need a .257 Roberts or 7mm-08, or .25-06 Light Magnum load, I found another 'NEW for 2008' article. Ruger and Hornady are taking the case they use for the Ruger .375, and jimmying it up to make two new COMPACT...

    Is this really what tasers were meant for?

    I didn't see a post about this story yet, but it made me shake my head enough I thought I would post it here: I have stated before MANY times, that I respect the hell out of anyone who can wear the uniform and carry the shield to be a polcie officer. Poopy Poopy job sometimes. I know for a...

    What will they think of next? How's about 'Season Shot'?

    So, I was cruising around on this new website a buddy of mine showed me called minyanville.com, and I came across a link for a product called 'Season Shot'. As near as I can tell, it's a hard packed seasoning pellet wrapped in a biodegradable coating, that is designed to melt into the...

    Handi-Rifle barrel swap-out question

    Okay, I know that to get a new barrel fitted on my NEF Handi-rifle, I need to send it in to the fine folks at H&R so they can do the initial head spacing and fitup. Once the firearm is returned to me, is it simple to swap the barrels out at home, or do I have to send the gun back in each time...

    .44 Mag bullet on elk...hardcast or something else?

    This year I am going elk hunting with some co-workers in an area that is new to me. Some of the guys were talking about finding some elk bedding areas, but it is in 'some pretty thick stuff'. So, I got to thinking that it might be nice to sit in that 'thick stuff' with my .44, if nothing...

    Help! Handi-Rifle ejector sticking!

    So with deer season being two weeks away, and this being the wifes first year actually going hunting, we have our first good omen. :rolleyes: During my last trip to the range by myself, I noticed that the ejector on my wifes NEF .270 was sticking...sometimes I had to open the gun 5 or 6...

    New S&W 629. Question about the hammer and trigger.

    So, I recently purchased a 'lifetime' subscription to Washington Fishing and Hunting news for $600. Part of the deal was you also got a S&W 629 for your $600. Now, I didn't really NEED a .44, but then again I didn't NEED a lifetime subscription to a local hunting and fishing magazine. Being a...

    Pigs in Washington?

    No, not D.C. We all know what kind of critters live there. I've spent the better part of an hour reading about some of our southern bretherens adventures hog hunting, and I was just wondering if there is any kind of feral pig population in Washington. I have lived here for many, many...

    Looking for info on a Springfield 'Omega-Match' Longslide 10mm

    Stopped at one of the local gunstores after work today, to do a little 'Day after Thanksgiving' shopping, and noticed a strange gun. It was listed as a Springfield Armory 'Omega-Match' chambered in 10mm, with a 6-inch slide. I was intriqued, because I think long-slide 1911's just look...

    Thank Gosh for small miracles!

    Well, we frequently seem to talk about 'breaking points' around here. I think if Bush HAD said he wanted to raise taxes, that would have been mine: Bush Rules Out Tax Hike to Fund Recovery Updated 10:18 PM ET September 16, 2005 President Bush on Friday ruled out raising taxes to pay...

    Buckshot...Aim for the Head?

    I have never used a shotgun for hunting deer. If I did, I have always thought slugs were the way to go. But... I was reading an article in Washington and Oregon Hunting and Fishing, and a guy was writing about deer hunting in the San Juan Islands, and how his prefered weapon is the shotgun...

    Hoping for a friendly education on rifle scopes.

    I don't really know anything about scopes. There...I said it. There have only been two times in my life when I had to make choice on scopes for a rifle. Back in high school I took a 4X Weaver off a used Winchester Model 70 and put a Bushnell 3-9 on it because 3-9 must be better than a...

    .357 vs .358...can it work?

    Okay, before I get crushed, let me state I am not a reloader yet. I have bought 'The ABC's of Reloading' and plan to get a nice setup for Christmas. As of yet though, I have bought nothing, or done any crazy experiments. That disclaimer done... My next rifle I'm planning to purchase is a...

    Conley Precision Cartridge Co.

    While doing a search online for .45 Colt loads, I found a website for Conley Precision Cartridge Company, in Como, Mississippi. Their prices for what I am looking at seem very reasonable, and I was just wondering if anyone here had dealt with them, or heard anything about them. Thanks for...

    Trying to decide on a new rifle...need guidance/advise/fortitude.

    Okay, so, a few weeks ago, the wife and I went out for an evening of fun and excitement at one of the local casino's. My wife did pretty good on the slot machines, so between that and some of my O.T. money, my wonderful wife asked me when I was going to get a new gun. Talking things over, we...

    How much loyalty do you feel you owe Your Gunshop?

    Ever since moving to Washington a few years ago, there has been a little local gun store I have thought of as My Gunstore. The owner has always been very helpful to both myself and my wife, and has never really offered up bad advise that I am aware of. When Sportsmans Warehouse came to town...

    Remington 700 ADL

    I was at Wal-mart today and while looking at ammo, I saw they had a Remington Model 700 ADL. The price seemed reasonable, over a hundred less than 700 BDL's go for around here. Looking through the glass case without actually holding the ADL, I could tell that the wood of the stock didn't...
